August development update
With all of that said, and as you can probably imagine, a large amount of work is required to make such an important update. A lot of it is already done, but a lot is still in the works, too. And given the amount of things changing all at once, we cant realistically predict how much more time we need (it should at least be this year!). Like any complex mechanism, we cant say it works as intended - i.e. playing the game is fun enough - until all of the parts are done and connected together. And thats why you dont hear from us very often these days. Were busy! This is probably one of the most important times in Voxel Tycoons life, and our own lives, too.
We really cant thank you enough for taking this journey with us through VTs development. But this is just the start - we are committed to bringing even more content to Voxel Tycoon after the game reaches Early Access! Also, big thanks to our beloved modders, bringing new content to the game almost every day. They are so cool and talented, and some of their creations so creative and clever that we cant help but be amazed. Keep up the great work! If you havent yet, join our Discord Server, and follow us on your favorite social media to keep up to date! Don't forget to wishlist Voxel Tycoon on Steam! Also, you can support the development by donating and get into the credits!

As you may already know, Voxel Tycoon is just one update away from hitting Steam Early Access. And this time, we mean it!
This will differ quite a bit from our usual updates, though. A successful Steam launch is crucial for VTs future development, so we cant afford to rush it.
Besides many quality of life improvements in preparation for Steam, VT will now feature a brand new game mechanic - passenger transportation! This involves many changes and lots of new content, like the new vehicles and stations that will be unlocked with research.
Therere some other things up our sleeves as well, such as Steam Workshop integration, and some other unannounced changes and improvements. All of this is bringing the update far past its original scale.
Radio silence

Voxel Tycoon Linux [476.18 M]
Voxel Tycoon - a tycoon strategy game about transportation, factories, and mining in beautiful voxel landscapes.
Inspired by the most notable transport games in history, expanded with all-new features never before seen in the genre.
Rent or buy rail equipment, choosing from dozens of available locomotives and railcars. Couple up consists in any combination, just the way you like, with no limits - provided the locomotives can pull it!
Plan detailed, sophisticated rail networks with vast modular terminals and flexible scheduling. Free-form bridging and tunneling, along with a full signaling system, allow you complete freedom to build and expand your business.
Use trucks and buses to move passengers and cargo short distances. Take commuters around busy city streets, making connections at train stations for long distance travel, or deliver goods by truck from a rail terminal directly to consumers for extra profit.
We are committed to adding more features and modes of transport during Early Access, such as ships and aircraft, and infrastructure to accommodate them. Other features will also be added for existing modes, including something never seen before in a tycoon game: fully functional railway shunting yards!
Automate surface and underground mining with open pits or mine shafts, then process the raw materials using crushers, furnaces, refineries and other machinery.
Renewable resources, like forestry and water, are also subjects of interest.
Complex production chains require complex logistics! Design unique factories of your very own by connecting machinery, buildings and storage facilities with conveyor belts and pipe networks.
Don't forget that your factories will need energy to operate, too! This can be supplied by building generating stations and power lines, or simply connecting to local utilities and purchasing electricity.
Fund and supply research of new technologies, unlocking new buildings, blueprints and vehicles, or upgrades for existing ones.
Explore an unlimited, procedurally-generated world filled with unique biomes and stunning vistas. Prospect for rare resources and opportunities, and find new cities to develop.
The world is endless, so you’ll never run out of space. And space isn't just on the surface - you can explore, dig through (or just blow up) every single voxel, all the way down to bedrock.
For the most successful tycoons, we include full-featured terraforming: turn the world into exactly what you want, all according to your perfect plan!
Every city has its own needs, which you can fulfill to kick-start growth. The bigger a city gets, the more consumers and passengers move in, meaning more potential profit!
Growth of a city doesn't simply increase the quantity of goods required - higher stages of development will move away from the basics, requiring more complex and expensive products.
Don’t just focus all of your efforts on freight - people have destinations to get to as well! Manage passenger flow between cities, and don't forget to treat them with care - different passengers are all heading to different places, and have different comfort preferences.
Voxel Tycoon is developed with rich extensibility in mind. A lot of aspects can be modded: from changing existing config files to adding new vehicles and buildings, to writing custom logic using our C# API.
We support Steam Workshop as the easiest way to deliver plenty of community made mods to you.

Trains and Rail Networks
Rent or buy rail equipment, choosing from dozens of available locomotives and railcars. Couple up consists in any combination, just the way you like, with no limits - provided the locomotives can pull it!
Plan detailed, sophisticated rail networks with vast modular terminals and flexible scheduling. Free-form bridging and tunneling, along with a full signaling system, allow you complete freedom to build and expand your business.
Not By Rail Alone
Use trucks and buses to move passengers and cargo short distances. Take commuters around busy city streets, making connections at train stations for long distance travel, or deliver goods by truck from a rail terminal directly to consumers for extra profit.
More to Come!
We are committed to adding more features and modes of transport during Early Access, such as ships and aircraft, and infrastructure to accommodate them. Other features will also be added for existing modes, including something never seen before in a tycoon game: fully functional railway shunting yards!
Mining and Processing
Automate surface and underground mining with open pits or mine shafts, then process the raw materials using crushers, furnaces, refineries and other machinery.
Renewable resources, like forestry and water, are also subjects of interest.
Manage Local Logistics
Complex production chains require complex logistics! Design unique factories of your very own by connecting machinery, buildings and storage facilities with conveyor belts and pipe networks.
Don't forget that your factories will need energy to operate, too! This can be supplied by building generating stations and power lines, or simply connecting to local utilities and purchasing electricity.

Infinite World
Explore an unlimited, procedurally-generated world filled with unique biomes and stunning vistas. Prospect for rare resources and opportunities, and find new cities to develop.

Supply Cities' Needs
Every city has its own needs, which you can fulfill to kick-start growth. The bigger a city gets, the more consumers and passengers move in, meaning more potential profit!
Growth of a city doesn't simply increase the quantity of goods required - higher stages of development will move away from the basics, requiring more complex and expensive products.
Passengers are Important, Too!
Don’t just focus all of your efforts on freight - people have destinations to get to as well! Manage passenger flow between cities, and don't forget to treat them with care - different passengers are all heading to different places, and have different comfort preferences.
Moddable from Day One
Voxel Tycoon is developed with rich extensibility in mind. A lot of aspects can be modded: from changing existing config files to adding new vehicles and buildings, to writing custom logic using our C# API.
